If you already know that it only takes 3 months for tests to be accurate, why are you worried about your test result 2 years later?  

Try to understand that if you reject the available data about these tests, then nothing anyone will say will make you feel better.  You will still worry.  But the data is the gold standard for information, so you have no reason to worry.

You're HIV negative.

Hello,
Can someone please answer my question.
I order the Rapid Home HIV Test From Intec .. the first test I took was only a pin dot of blood .. but it came out negative and then the second one I took I made sure I got two – three drops of blood on it .. it also came out negative but my question is, that enough blood for the test to be accurate?
I am really worried and even thought I have no symptoms I am not sure if I am suffering from extreme anxiety … I’ve had headache along with diarrhea
The headache I figure it to be from stress from my job and home life .. they come and go with sharp pain around my eyes or a sharp pain on the side of my head. And the same with diarrhea … I am not sure if it from the food eat or the stress might be causing it.
I don’t have any symptoms with the HIV but maybe I did a long time ago but didn’t notice. I’ve had some really bad colds the last two years. But no swollen lymph nodes or rashes. And like I said I have taken the HIV test but not sure if two-three blood drops is enough to be accurate.
